Iowa man sentenced to 14 years for child porn

A 23-year-old Iowa man has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for receiving child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Nicholas Klinefeldt says Scott Allen Gibbons, of Villisca, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to the charge in January.

Klinefeldt says the case began when a woman Florida reported that her 11-year-old son had been subjected to inappropriate "chats" with a man from Iowa. An investigation showed Gibbons had gotten to know the boy through an online game that used a chat-room component. Investigators said Gibbons persuaded the boy to send pornographic pictures of himself to Gibbons.

Police say they found the pictures and others like it from other prepubescent boys on Gibbons' cellphone.
